The new Zenith Chronomaster Original Paris Edition.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My Darling, Defy\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Following the Defy Skyline Paris Edition launched in 2024, Zenith pays tribute again to the City of Light. This new Chronomaster Original is a nod to urban views, but also to the perfectly ordered lines of the Grands Boulevards, and the architectural balance which expresses Paris identity. This inspiration comes alive in a stunning dial adorned with a lovat green gradient, which takes its cues from the copper patina covering the capital\u2019s rooftops and monuments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rhodium-plated, faceted hands hover above, coated in green luminescent material, complemented by tone-on-tone chronograph sub-dials. A worthy successor to the 1969 A386 version, this exclusive edition highlights a 38mm stainless steel case. Water-resistant to 50 metres, it comes fitted with pump pushers and is protected by a domed sapphire crystal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The El Primero, always a reference<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This timepiece beats to the rhythm of one of watchmaking\u2019s most iconic movements: the El Primero 3600 calibre. Ticking at 36,000 vibrations per hour, it displays tenths of a second via a central hand that completes a full rotation of the dial in just ten seconds. A technical showcase that has become Zenith\u2019s hallmark. Visible through the sapphire case back, this high-frequency movement boasts roughly a 60-hour power reserve, uncovering its blue column wheel and openworked star-shaped oscillating weight, the brand\u2019s icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visible thanks to a see-through case back, the high-frequency (5 Hz) El Primero 3600 self-winding calibre displays 1\/10th of a second.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This edition comes on a steel bracelet fitted with the new ZENCLASP\u2122 folding clasp, which was one of the great highlights of the latest Watches and Wonders trade show (have a look at our article, “Episode 4: Special Watches and Wonders<\/strong><\/a>“). Patented by the brand and totalling 41 components, it showcases a tool-free micro-adjustment system, with 2.5 mm increments up to a total of 10 mm. The timepiece is also available on a black leather strap for a firm vintage look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technical innovation: The ZENCLASP\u2122 folding clasp, which required 3 years of development and 600,000 test cycles, features a simple, secure micro-adjustment system with ceramic components in order to improve durability.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This Chronomaster Original Paris Edition strikes the perfect balance between exclusivity, Parisian identity, and the watchmaking heritage embodied by the El Primero calibre. Sold in a 50-piece limited run, this timepiece is bound to adorn collectors\u2019 wrists in no time \u2014 if it is not already the case…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
